CEC Standard 7: Instructional Planning

The use of computers in the classroom there are numerous online games that can be fun for the student as well as gaining something out of it. For example, a student with Speech Impairment there are websites that provide great ideas for articulation of different beginning and ending sounds of a word and ideas for teachers to create game boards using cards with different words/vocabularies. There are both printable and online interactive games.  Website: http://www.speechtx.com

Example Activities:

* This is one of the game boards that can be printed out.  All you have to do is make  copies of this board for each student, then make copies of the word "CIRCUS" and cut each letter out and place it in a box or jar big enough for the student to reach in.  The rules are simple, if the student pronounces the word correctly they get to pick one letter out of the box/jar and try and complete the spelling of CIRCUS on their board. [it is almost like bingo]. The teacher just has to come up with words on a card to show the students.  Whoever gets all the letters for CIRCUS wins! 

*********************************************

* This other activity can also be found online.  This game is fun because you can blow up the picture on the left [spider web] and have the kids color the insects on the right and cut them individually.  The rules are simple, if the student pronounces the word correctly they get one bug and either place it on the web for the spider to eat or on the flower and to set the insect free.
